Copa del Rey: Atlético Madrid team bus attacked by Barça supporters

Last night, the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final between FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid was no ordinary match (3-0). Beyond the suspense created by the Blaugranas' comeback, violent incidents erupted even before kick-off.

Indeed, upon arrival at the Spotify Camp Nou, the Madrid team's bus was targeted by a group of Barça ultras who hurled stones, shattering the vehicle's window, as shown in this video posted on X by ESPN journalist Javier Gimeno.

The attack, which was particularly violent, caused turmoil and clearly cast a shadow over the atmosphere around the stadium, despite immediate repairs. For now, neither FC Barcelona nor Atlético Madrid have made any official statements regarding the damage to property.
